Weekly FGO vol. 92

JP

…nothing. Have been collecting more octuplets. I’ve maxed Sanzo and now maxing Penthesilea.

FGO Fes has started but major announcement won’t come until Sunday. And probably with Lucky Bag Summoning as well.

Summer 2021 has started! I rolled for Musashi and thankfully got one in 15 rolls. NP1 isn’t actually quite enough in a lot of situations so I’ll roll a bit more if I still have leftover from Merlin and Okita Summer banners. …if there’s any left that is. And if I actually manage to get them in the first place.

Otherwise, I’ll need to save some more until next year. Thankfully according to my list there won’t be anyone important until Castoria. There will be Okita Alter somewhere in the middle but it’ll be mostly for Nagayoshi. Oh, and NP2 of Kama would also be nice. Rerun of her event should be in June.

Back to current event, the plan is slowly going through the event until Merlin banner is up. Then I’ll try rolling for him, hopefully either he comes early. At worst I’ll die with loads of event CE. If it’s the former I’ll do more slow farming until Okita banner which should come next week and then finally finish the event. If it’s the latter I’ll finish the event ASAP and cry.

Finally cleared the Morgan quest. Helped by this, I noticed Morgan is very likely to attack Castoria (and Mash to lesser extent). That made coming up with correct strategy way easier as I only need to protect Castoria.

MHXA Idol was chosen for her class. It slowed things down a lot though as her NP damage is relatively low and not arts so no buff from Castoria.

With that over, I’m back to farming mats. Octuplets this time around so I can finally max Sanzo.

Oh and I counted the boxes wrong. It was 143.6 boxes total.

Done with summer rerun! Well, almost. Still need to finish one more loop and a bit more of doujin power.

Challenge quest! I first tried with Arjuna Alter but he died a bit too early. So I’m back to Hokusai despite no arts buff. It took a while but it was mostly just letting Hokusai do her NP as frequent as possible. And a lot of taunts.

Summer 2020 is coming soon! Hopefully right after the rerun so it’ll be a lot of rolling fun next Sunday between NA Merlin and whatever JP 6th Anniversary will be.

Using ownCloud

Thanks to the fact NextCloud dropped Windows 8 support recently, I switched to ownCloud.

Installing the web app is pretty simple. Slightly more annoying in term of nginx rewrite compared to NextCloud but it’s fixed by just disabling “pretty” url. Their “pretty” url still involves paths ending with .php anyway. So much for being “pretty”.

There’s no problem with the desktop app either. It’s very similar to NextCloud app.

Then there’s the mobile app and here thing went bad. It occasionally crashes. By occasionally I mean it crashes at least twice when launching the app first time after not using it for a while. Opening Photos directory also used to cause crashes but apparently they fixed it recently.

That was with iOS version. Unfortunately the Android version also occasionally crashes. Not as bad as iOS though.

I’m staying with this for now until I fed up with the crashes and maybe just go back to NextCloud and use their older client version hoping it’ll stay working. Or if they finally decide to support earlier versions of Windows Server as it should also mean it’ll work with Windows 8 again.

Edit: browsing the NextCloud issues it looks like they removed hard requirement on the Windows 10 1709+ only API and Windows 8.1 will be supported again.

NeroFes is over. I gathered a bit over 120 boxes in the end. And now opening them all…

Talking about the boxes, it sure would be nice if the box includes CE exp cards. Or maybe I should’ve rolled harder during the last year’s Yamatai-koku event…

I’ll keep that in mind for NA next year.

On the other news, last part of LB6 has been released and I’ve been grinding through it slowly. That said, apparently there’s still part of the story that’s only unlocked early next month.

As part of the release, there’s the banner thing which somehow I managed to get the SSR with 4 tickets. That’s in very stark contrast with how many rolls I needed to get Morgan. This new Lancer is pretty unique in that she can do both single target and area NP. And that her third skill charges NP to 100%. 2x area NP without a separate NP charge like Nitocris is impossible but considering recent higher difficulty quests which first two waves sometimes only have one or two enemies, this could work in her favor instead.

…I don’t think I’ll raise her NP level though. It’s not Takeuchi and summer is coming soon. Also that new support with 70% targeted NP charge.

NA

Summer Rerun has started and I got my second copy of Jeanne Summer in 58 rolls. Thankfully it only took that many rolls so I should still have good chance for rolling Merlin and Okita Summer. I currently have 224 rolls available. I should get a bit more during this event. There’s also unlock-able Prison Tower which costs 5 rare prisms and will give out 9 tickets total.

I kinda want to use the prisms for bond flame and mystic code as well though so I’m not sure how it’ll go. I currently have 0 but the rerun should net me 9 rare prisms.

Oh, I also got both Ushiwakamaru and Ibaraki Douji Summer along the way. This sure is my SSR week.

I’m not sure how far I’m at the event story but I’ll probably finish it by this weekend. Or next. Next weekend is a long one to celebrate the Olympic. I don’t really care about the Olympic but hey, national holiday.

Right afterward this should be this year’s summer event.
